Could it be true that Ye Hao told him he's Lin Tian's son-in-law? At this thought, Zhang Mei became anxious...
Zhang Fu walked a few steps with Ye Hao, then suddenly turned around, looked at Zhang Mei, and snorted, "Did you say anything offensive to Young Master Ye Hao just now?"
"Elder Fu, no, we didn't. Let's go up!" Ye Hao didn't intend to dwell on it. As a woman, finding a job isn't easy for her. Hopefully, after this incident, she'll make some changes; otherwise, someone like her isn't suited for hosting guests.
"Alright." Zhang Fu replied as he followed Ye Hao.
As Ye Hao and Zhang Fu entered the elevator, the woman called Zhang Mei was still in a daze. By the time she came to her senses, Ye Hao and Zhang Fu were gone.
However, she was secretly relieved that Ye Hao didn't seem to plan on dwelling on her rudeness.
Ye Hao and Zhang Fu reached the top floor, where Lin Guodong stood by the elevator doors. Should any unidentified people try to enter, he would drive them away.
The elevator doors opened, and upon seeing Lin Guodong, Ye Hao smiled and said, "Dong, being so professional?"
"Hao?" Lin Guodong exclaimed as he saw Ye Hao, momentarily stunned.
"Haha, it's only been a few months. Don't tell me you don't recognize me anymore, Dong?" Ye Hao laughed as he embraced Lin Guodong.
Lin Guodong snapped out of it and patted Ye Hao's broad back. In the past, he could easily outmatch Ye Hao, but now he couldn't sense Ye Hao's strength anymore. Even after reaching the twelfth level of National Martial Arts, he still found Ye Hao unfathomable.
Curiously, Lin Guodong asked, "Hao, what opportunities have you had these past few months? Why does your strength feel more and more elusive?"
"Haha, just a bit of improvement. I've got a long way to go before surpassing you, Dong!" Ye Hao laughed.
"Enough with the modesty. With your talent, surpassing both me and Brother Guoyan should be a breeze." Lin Guodong shook his head helplessly.
"Dong, you're too humble. Let's head in!" Ye Hao smiled, not intending to boast about surpassing his elders. After all, as a junior, surpassing senior members would make them uncomfortable.
"Alright, let's go in." Lin Guodong led Ye Hao and Zhang Fu into Lin Tian's office, which was more like an independent home where one could work and cook.
Lin Tian was already waiting on the sofa with a glass of red wine. Lin Guoyan was no longer hiding in the shadows and sat on the sofa like Lin Tian, curious about what Ye Hao intended to do at Tianfu Group this time.
Seeing Lin Tian, Ye Hao stepped forward with a smile and greeted, "Dad, Uncle Yan."
"Haha, you brat, what brings you to Tianfu Group?" Lin Tian laughed as he poured Ye Hao a glass of '82 Lafite.
"It's been a while since we last met, Dad. I came to check in." Ye Hao took a sip of wine and said.
"You're not one to come without a reason, even if I'm your father-in-law. Spill, what's on your mind?" Lin Tian laughed.
He knew Ye Hao well enough to know that Ye Hao wouldn't waste time on pointless family visits. So when Ye Hao appeared at Tianfu Group, Lin Tian immediately knew Ye Hao needed his help.
"Dad, your insight is spot-on. I won't hide it; I've come to borrow some people."
"Borrow people?"
"Yes, I need a skilled team. Dad, can you help me?"
"What for?"
"To participate in the World Gambling King Tournament. I want to become the Gambling King." Ye Hao stated.
"And why participate? What's the aim?" Lin Tian asked calmly, expressing neither support nor dissent.
"Winning it could earn me over a hundred billion assets from the World Gambling King Habs Miman. I aim to establish an international virtual casino and create a new 4D immersive gambling experience. Additionally, I plan to open global chain banks, attract large cash inflows with low-interest rates, effectively using others' money to expand my own power." Ye Hao smiled.
"The world isn't that simple, especially someone like Habs Miman isn't easy to deal with." Lin Tian smiled.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Ye Hao asked, puzzled.
"Habs Miman, take a good look at that name. See which family in the United States shares that surname and consider this family's influence." Lin Tian analyzed.
"I'd like to hear more details." Ye Hao genuinely didn't know that Habs was a family or the extent of their influence.
"Haha, the top family in the United States, the Habs family, with assets over a trillion US Dollars, equivalent to sixty million trillion in Huaxia. They're rich enough to buy the entire continent of South Africa, wield great power, and have strong connections. In the US, people in the Black Sect, political parties, and military are either family or loyal to them."
"Their influence in the US surpasses mine in Huaxia. While many in Huaxia heed my words, not everyone does, but the Habs family operates practically as dictators. Other than a president from a different faction, most rely on the Habs family. If they don't want someone entering the US market, that person absolutely won't progress."
"Of course! If someone with significant strength tries entering the US market, and the Habs don't want to fight head-on and expend their strength, that's another matter." Lin Tian said.
"Dad, does that mean Habs Miman might be from the Habs family?" Ye Hao asked.
"Most likely, otherwise he couldn't have been the Gambling King in Las Vegas for decades. I've heard of this Habs Miman; his skill in gambling is nearly undisputed."
"Gambling skill is just technique. I just want to know if his gambling ethics are solid." Ye Hao smiled.
"He's been the World Gambling King for decades. If he loses, he might honor his gambling debts, but retaliatory actions like assassination are uncertain." Lin Tian said.
"That's what I'm worried about, so I came to see if you have some experts for loan, Dad." Ye Hao said.
"I do. When do you need them? I can provide two Innate-level experts." Lin Tian said.
"Next month. I'll ask you then, Dad." Ye Hao smiled.
"You're sure about this?" Lin Tian asked.
"Fortune favors the bold; the timid starve. I'd rather die from being too bold."
"Alright, if you've decided, why not let me join in?" Lin Tian smiled.
"You want to join too, Dad?"
"Yes! I've seen the 4D displays you produced for the elite market. If you create a virtual casino with a 4D immersive experience, I expect many will want to play because it's safer that way." Lin Tian smiled.
After decades in business, he easily recognized areas with potential for significant development. (To be continued.
